Synopsis
It is exceedingly difficult to make convincing live-action versions of cult cartoon strips, and this big-screen version of the momentarily popular TV series is one of the least successful attempts. Dolph Lundgren has the necessary physique for He-Man and Frank Langella has been splendidly made-up for the role of Skeletor. But the story - about a cosmic key that will enable its holder to become master of the universe - is uninspired, while the special effects look painfully cheap.
